Jameis Winston completed 28-of-51 passes for 363 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in the Bucs' Week 17 comeback win over the Saints.

The Bucs finished their season on a high note with a comeback win to push the Saints to 11-5. The dagger was Winston's 39-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Chris Godwin. Although Winston’s 2017 was an all-in-all disappointment due largely to a recurring throwing-shoulder injury, he did finish strong with a 10:5 TD-to-INT ratio and nearly 70-percent completion rate across his final five games. Winston never quite got on the same page with DeSean Jackson, however, and the Bucs failed to realize their theoretical potential at least partly due to Winston’s penchant for random boneheaded turnovers. Nevertheless, Winston will be a bounce-back target in 2018 fantasy drafts as a late-round quarterback pick. The Bucs’ decision to retain Dirk Koetter was widely panned, but it ensures Winston will maintain offensive scheme continuity with his arrow still pointing up. Sun, Dec 31, 2017 07:37:00 PM

Jameis Winston completed 21-of-27 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown in the Bucs' 22-19, Week 16 loss to the Panthers.

Coming off his best game of the season last Monday night against the Falcons, Winston's numbers again look good on paper. But he held the ball too long in this one and turned it over multiple times once again. Winston took six sacks on the day, with a couple being way too deep and one for a loss of 13 yards on first-and-goal. Winston lost three fumbles, two early in the first half and the final with 35 seconds left and the Bucs down by three. It's a huge thing Winston needs to work on in the offseason; he has to take better care of the ball. He's thrown 41 picks and fumbled 31 times with one game left in his third season. The 4-11 Bucs host the Saints in Week 17. Sun, Dec 24, 2017 04:30:00 PM

Jameis Winston completed 27-of-35 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the Bucs' 24-21, Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

Winston played one of his best games of the season despite the Bucs coming up short on the scoreboard. His first touchdown went to O.J. Howard where he went through his progressions and found him wide-open on the opposite side of the field. His second touchdown was a 42-yard bomb to Mike Evans who leaped over two defenders to make the catch. Winston should have had two more long completions, but Evans was called for offensive pass interference for pushing off in both instances. This was the type of game fantasy owners expected to happen frequently from Winston entering 2017. He has a good matchup against the Panthers in Week 16. Mon, Dec 18, 2017 11:54:00 PM
